  2. Hi and welcome read the double star thread I know wookie1965 is near you and he does loads of doubles at night there are some amazing colour differences of the 2 stars when split
  3. Thats amazing at the moment i have the besser 127 /1200 and the lacerta 2 inch wedge and use polarizing filter and continuum filter
  4. Looking at your amazing set up I can now see why I can't get any were near , I said I wanted an HA scope the wife said over her dead body , I got to go and now dig a hole
  5. Simon I found this on the old heq5 the same as yours it may help you https://www.astrosite.co.uk/sky-watcher-heq5-pro-guiding-issues-servicing-and-the-rowan-astronomy-belt-modification/
  6. Ok the other way is it they said 30/40 days Mark these on the calendar and then cross off the days it may come early

  13. Simon I just double checked my old gears , you middle gear has a hexagon which I think is really old type even mine at 10 years old has a smooth finish like in the photo from Mr thingy I know it's more work but you can unscrew the motor plate and lift it out and look at were the shaft goes into plate the newer one has 2 grub screws holding the shaft in , download the fitting instructions and look at the motor plate in the photo , if you're is the older one it can still be done but it will be more work Posted link below
  14. Simon looks like yours is the type in the link were your have to drill out the plate , if you go ahead with the conversation were they say use epoxy I wonder if RED bearing lock tight would be better
  15. The upgrade is so worth doing it's makes it quiet I think it has zero backlash and it's maintenance free no more grease on gears , you will need to know the size of pulled you need to remove the gear
  16. Your know when you remove top cover your see the main board all the plugs are on top
  17. Yes it did but my motors do unplug so i dont know how old old is Mine is 10 years old which i thought was old if you remove the covers look at main board if its has plugs then its the same as mine
  18. Hi my HEQ5 pro is 10 years old and the belt conversion was easy no problems at all
  19. The biggest increase i have seen was a lunt went up over £100 to ship uk I hope astroboot start trading love a rumage
